Trump And Musk Play The 'Little Buddy' System With American Society

Eeeeeek, there’s a mouse in the house! Oh, wait—it’s simply Little Mike Johnson. He poses no threat. Johnson serves as Speaker of the House of Representatives, a historically crucial component of the United States government. The Constitution grants the House the authority to manage the federal budget, public policies, and presidential actions. However, Johnson has submissively relinquished these essential powers—and his own significance—to the autocratic executive branch led by Trump. He even fell short of earning the title of Squeaker of the House, failing to voice any dissent as elected officials’ authority was usurped by a corrupt leader claiming to embody the law. As Rep. Jamie Raskin aptly noted, rather than opposing tyrannical rule, Johnson has become Trump's “little buddy.” Even more disheartening is witnessing him and the GOP capitulate to Elon Musk, blindly following the whims of a self-serving billionaire. The troubling reality remains that “We the People” do not endorse their actions against our interests.
